already closing in Friday, the weekend, and two
brand-new episodes of The Legend of Korra.
Alas, it turns out only two of those last
three things are true.
Only one new episode of Korra will air on
Nickelodeon this Friday, according to Nick and
More. And it will be the last episode of Book 3 to
grace your television screen (provided you still
use a teleivision to watch television). What's going
on? Well, details are scarce at the moment, but
here's Korra's co-creator Bryan Konietzko to fill
in the gap:
Yes, that's correct. For some (currently) unknown
reason, Nick has pulled Episodes 9 through 13
from its schedule, and from the looks
of Konietzko's Tumblr (which is where the
image above came from; Korra co-
creator Michael Dante DiMartino posted it as
well), it appears those episodes will air
exclusively on the web.
This is just the latest weird development in Book
3's checkered existence. After several episodes
were accidentally leaked online, Nickelodeon
rushed it onto the air with zero fanfare, and
has been airing two episodes
each week. Obviously answers will be forthcoming
at Korra's Comic-Con panel this Friday, but in the
meantime, this is everything we know.
I'll still have a review of Episode 8, "The Terror
Within" for you on Friday (it's good, as is Episode
9, "The Stakeout," but we may have to discuss that
one later, I guess), and after that, who the heck knows.
